[Samba] RHEL6 implementation running slow

[Tom Hanstra]

I am running Samba 3.6.15 on a RHEL6 server. The server has been joined
to the campus AD.

The complaint I am getting from users is that this is much slower than
other, earlier versions of Samba. We have older versions running on
both RHEL4 and RHEL5, but this version on RHEL6 seems to be running much
slower.

One thing to note is that I had first installed and had Samba 4
working. But, then, the campus AD servers were upgraded to Windows 2008
R2 and my connections would no longer work. I downgraded to 3.6.15 and
that allows me to connect, but with the complaints of slowness.

I've increased the logging, and am including one connection log to this
email. I really don't know what to be looking for in the logs. What
types of red flags should I be watching for? What are some typical
reasons for slow connections? Might I have to downgrade even further?

Thanks in advance for any help,
Tom
